Speaker Notes: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
identified these workplaces as having high incidences of TB. Health care
facilities include hospitals where patients with confirmed or suspect TB are
treated or to which they are transported. Coverage of non-health care settings
(doctors’ offices, clinics, etc.) include only personnel present during
performance of high hazard procedures on suspect or active TB patients. Dental
health care personnel are covered only if they treat suspect or active patients
in a hospital, correctional facility, or as part of their practice.
